[Q] Galaxy S3 batter drain issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I've been experiencing battery drain issues which hasn't occurred before. When I first got the phone I can go through the day with about 60% of the battery left at around 11pm when I plug it in, but now I have to plug it in at around 8, with 5% battery left. At the moment I'm using omega v43.2, I don't think its the rom's problem because I've tried switching roms and it didn't help.
Does anyone have a solution to this battery issue?
Thanks

Strange battery issue

I have faced a situation, I have never seen before. I'm running cm9 for some time now, on a p7500 16gb. Last night I turned the device off and the battery was at about 30%. Half an hour ago I tried to turn it on but the battery was drained. I connected to the charger and it showed an exclamation mark next to the battery and after 2-3 minutes started charging. It's running ok now but I want to ask whether you think my battery may be damaged somehow. I have callibrated my battery in the past and had uptime of about 9-10 hours of use. Really strange...

You may just need a new USB adapter/cable. Just in case , test by tweaking your UV/OV and OC settings.

[Q] battery keep draining lately

Hi guys
I m experiencing battery drain lately
I have tried several different rom but all are the same.
Is there any reason why i m having this problem.
Is there any rom that u guys suggest me to use just to ensure that the battery drain is not because of my battery.
I think the battery might not be the reason for the heavy battery drain because my phone is only 2 months and the battery is well taken cared.
Thanks guys.
Have you tried the app "BetterBatteryStats" to verify wakelocks or points of drain?
Without some specific info, there's not much we can do to help I guess.
I only have a huge drain with the stock firmware from Samsung. I'm running CM10 now and that's not giving me any drain issues. Put the phone on charge just now after 38 hours.

Samsung SIII (I9300) Battery Issue.

Im using Cyanogen Mod 10.1 build Jan 23 on my phone. Till recently (2 days specifically) my battery has started acting up. When i connect it to the wall charger it charges super slow. Also if I'm browsing or using the phone for an email or anything during charge the charge on the battery still drops. I also charged the phone using a blackberry charger same issue happens. The battery takes 6-8 hours to charge completely.
This also happened to me the first time i charged my phone when i got it. But it fixed itself after that.
It behaves the same when i switch off the phone and charge it.
Plz Help.

Sounds like a bad battery imo. You didn't turn down the charging rate in a custom kernel by anychance?
CM10 nightlies are still under DEV so you can expect a battery drain until stable versions comes out !!
Im using Stock Kernel on the device. No changes made to it or battery charge rate. Should I buy a new battery? Or can it be a hardware issue?
Like being said before CM10.1 is still in dev.
Try flashing back to stock and test.
Welcome to the baffled S3 charging issues thread....

I'm pretty certain it's not a ROM or a kernel issue. The same is happening to me.
My suspicions lie in the actual charging port and/or the battery. I don't have a spare battery to test. But this happens no matter what rom I use. It tends to be fine after a fresh ROM install or a fresh wipe. But it goes back to 'acting up' after some time.
For example, I left it at around 4% last night only to wake up to it at around 33%. Where before, it would fully charge after around ~4 hours or even less.
Another symptom is that when on wifi/data (whilst plugged in) the phone still drains and even faster so when it is actually downloading something.. This isn't your typical battery drain.
NOT a rom/kernel issue as some would like to suggest (for a "quick thanks" maybe...? ) as this isn't your usual battery drain.

Galaxy s3 battery issue with SynergyROM.

Hello,
Originally I was running CleanROM 5.6 and felt like trying a new some. I decide to give SynergyROM r484 a chance, a while a few minor bugs bothered me, I really like the ROM. However, the battery is giving me some issues. Two nights ago after setting up r484 I let it charge overnight to 100%, when I got home the phone was at like 24% and eventually the battery went to 16%. It stayed at16% for a looooong time and then shut up. I tried charging the phone and after 4 hours it only charged to 20%. I shut it off and turned it on again after a 3 minute "break" and the battery was at 47% instead of previously at 20%. I drained the battery fully and then again charged it overnight fully to 100% while the phone was off. I was thinking maybe I fixed the issue, but right now I got home like 20 minutes ago and my battery life is decreasing at a "steady" pace but now it's stuck on 23% and has been for a little long time. I feel that my battery is probably around 15% in actuality. It seems upon installing SynergyROM r484, when the battery gets low... it doesn't display the correct percentage and I feel that's a huge issue. I'm also running leankernel 2.2 if that's an issue? I really would like to use this ROM, and while it's functional this battery issue is a serious problem and I'm thinking of flashing to CleanROM 6.0 for something more stable.
Does anyone else have this problem? I was hoping if anyone had any idea of a fix or something along those lines.
Thank you for reading,

[Q] Nexus 4 huge battery drain

hey guys, i have recently installed/ flashed my new nexus 4 with the ubuntu touch using all the instructions on this webpage
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
everything works that should work so far except for the huge battery drain on the device.
with the phone fully charged this morning at 7am. By 11am the phone was at 37% and then by 1pm the phone was completely flat.
So just to recap thats 6 hours for the phone to fully discharge. I should also state that the phone was not used at all during that time.
Anyone have any idea what could possibly causing this drain?
im also flashed with the latest as of the 29/5/13
Any ideas? I thank you all in advance
